A few solos from my album ...

Re: A few solos from my album ...

on to the gates - hum.. it's a bit chaotic, i'd have to hear the whole song, to see how it fits in as a whole. lots of jumping from phrase to phrase =)

endless days - LOVE the intro to the solo. it hasnt changed much from the demo version apart of a lick and passage here and there. twin harmonies kick ass as they go and the tremolo picking fits awesomely. it's better than the in the demo

Sorry to be so unresponsive. At work, we're undergoing a "server migration." In other words, things are FUBAR for the moment until our LAN gets worked over. But I finally got a chance to listen.

I like it, Ben. Your legato playing is more articulate than I remember from the demo CD. The Black Flag intro is very nice. If I had I lighter, I'd be waving it. I like Plaza Solo 1 best. I'm sure it's all going to come out great. Also, I'm looking forward to hearing your other shredder axeman in action, as well as your Harris-esque bassman.

So, if I understand you right, you are recording "dry." Do you find it difficult to record this way? My few recording attempts were difficult when I tried to play without a little delay, etc, so I ended up using delay from the amp.

I have no problems at all tracking dry, Matt. Partially is because I play live totally dry as well -- no verb, no delay, nuthin'. To me, if it can work that way, then once I add the FX in post, I can build on that sound. I have found the simplier the better, sonically, when it comes to playing live. Things just get lost otherwise. So, I don't use play to the effect, in other words; I do the opposite.

Yeah, the riff underneath is weird .... not so sure this solo can be understood without the rest of the song! :) (Gotta love those sweeps, tho!)

Thanx, Matt ... yeah, that first Plaza solo is just barrels out at ya ... That's the intro to the song, actually. :)
